If you find a lost phone and want to keep it, the best course of action is to try to locate the owner by checking for any contact information on the phone or contacting the service provider. Keeping a lost phone without attempting to return it to its rightful owner is considered theft and is illegal. It is important to act ethically and responsibly in such situations.

I lost my phone at the cinema will someone find it and keep it or would someone give it to lost propety?

They might keep it, they might hand it to lose property. You should go and ask lost property anyway, as there are alot of good people out their too. If you have a smart phone, you should always password protect it and if you can, use encryption to make sure any personal information is not accessible by others and make sure you backup all you information on a regular basis, so if you lose your phone you still have the data on hand. Also, if it's a expensive phone, some kind of insurance might be of intrest to you.

Where should you look for a lost phone?

Try the janitor's office if you think you lost it at a school or other place that has a janitor. If you've been at a mall around the time you lost it, then try the lost and found. Think where you last had it and maybe check the pockets of clothes you wore recently and the your jacket You could try calling your phone and see if it's around you....also you can ask around.
